SECOM would love to have your help in assisting neighbors in our food pantry!
The majority of our volunteering needs are in the pantry/warehouse. The volunteers basically run our pantry: they restock, re-package food, help neighbors, etc. It is a low-stress and easy volunteering job for anyone interested in helping those around us in Grand Rapids. All of our neighbors (clients) live 100-200 percent below the poverty line and a large percentage are also Hispanic. The work SECOM does allows many families to continue to feed their families each month- it is a great organization for anyone looking to truly make an impact with those around them.
SECOM is currently in great need of volunteers on Tuesdays and Fridays!
Our volunteers typically do one shift a week or one shift every other week. The majority of volunteers have a set shift they are scheduled for each week. As we understand schedules are always changing, some of our volunteers simply schedule any shifts the week prior if they have availability.
The hours volunteers can choose from are as follows:
Tues 8:30a-12:00p or 12:45p-3:05p
Wed 8:30a-12:00p or 12:45p-3:05p
Fri 8:30a-12:05p
If anyone is interested in learning more about SECOM or potentially volunteering please have them contact us at volunteers@secomministries.org or call 616-452-7684 ext 4.

Mission Statement
Our mission at SECOM Resource Center is to give help and hope to our neighbors by empowering families to achieve their full potential through healthy living, education and economic opportunities.
Description
SECOM is a Key Resource Center that gives help and hope to our neighbors by empowering families to achieve their full potential through healthy living, education and economic opportunities.
SECOM was launched by four local churches as an effort to impact emergency food and clothing needs in our community. Today, we continue to meet both short and long-term needs through our Healthy Food Pantry and Market, Neighborhood Services and our Litlle Steps at SECOM Preschool.
We are able to make an impact in the lives of our four neighbors because of the investment of individuals, churches, businesses, community and county providers and foundations that choose to partner with us!
